How are you doing today ? How many in your book today ?   Fine , thank you . There be five of us . The rest will be along shortly .   Smoking or non ?   Non-smoking is fine , thank you .   Right , this way , please . Something to drink first ?   Just water , please .   Wold you like to see menu first or wait for your friends ?   I wait , but please bring me some bread . Maybe I'd like to have some appetizer before they get here . Please give me the menu , and let me have a look .   Certainly , sir . If you need anything else , please let me know , and I'll be happy to get it for you right away .
